Welcome to the Purplestockings Movement

Welcome to the Purplestockings Movement

Later in the year, my book, “Human, Mother, Woman”, on mothers, feminism and western culture will be published!

Here’s a teaser. Happy New Year, all.

“Welcome to the Purplestockings Movement. It’s about love; it’s about mothers.

You may have heard of the terms ‘Bluestockings’ to signify educated, intellectual, women; or ‘Redstockings’ those women’s liberationists most notable in the Icelandic women’s strike.

In the tradition of those sisters, I have settled on ‘Purplestockings’ to signify this maternal feminism, to nod to those Suffragette colours, to invoke the nobility in mothering, and because, well, it’s my favourite colour. ”
